Hello everybody!

Suggestions:

1. Need to use a prosilver style (default style) plus some updating (A new Logo).

2. Main page http://www.porteus.org/ is absent (no content!). The meta tags is absent into root/forum/styles/name_of_style/template/overall_header.html

Code: Select all

<meta name="keywords" content="" />
<meta name="description" content="" />
For example

Code: Select all

<meta name="keywords" content="slax chat slackware current linux packages repository tgz live online operating system free open source module lzm"/>
<meta name="description" content="Welcome to Chat About Slax!"/>
It does't good for search engine optimization.

3. Open root/language/en/common.php

Find:

Code: Select all

	'INDEX'						=> 'Index page',
Replace with:

Code: Select all

	'INDEX'						=> 'Forum about Slax Remix',
Open root/styles/name_of_style/template/overall_header.html

Find:

Code: Select all

<title>{SITENAME} &bull; <!-- IF S_IN_MCP -->{L_MCP} &bull; <!-- ELSEIF S_IN_UCP -->{L_UCP} &bull; <!-- ENDIF -->{PAGE_TITLE}</title>
Replace with:

Code: Select all

<title><!-- IF S_IN_MCP -->{L_MCP} <!-- ELSEIF S_IN_UCP -->{L_UCP} <!-- ENDIF -->{PAGE_TITLE}</title>
Open root/forum/viewforum.php

Find:

Code: Select all

// Dump out the page header and load viewforum template
page_header($user->lang['VIEW_FORUM'] . ' - ' . $forum_data['forum_name'], true, $forum_id);
Replace with:

Code: Select all

// Dump out the page header and load viewforum template
page_header($forum_data['forum_name'], true, $forum_id);
Open root/forum/viewtopic.php

Find:

Code: Select all

// Output the page
page_header($user->lang['VIEW_TOPIC'] . ' - ' . $topic_data['topic_title'], true, $forum_id);
Replace with:

Code: Select all

// Output the page
page_header($topic_data['topic_title'], true, $forum_id);

I just used the chat...

it's too small for intense use, it display just 4 messages at once, would it be possible to add a resize function? or the possibility to open it in a dedicated page?

it would be also useful to have name, date, and text on the same line, to see more lines at once

bye, Mithrandil

Thanks Blaze. Need to talk to you about the forum. The main site won't exist until we find a name for the distro so it can be rebranded.

Sorry, chat function is at full width. I can change the height only. With a different style it may be wider. Blaze is now the forum admin, he can change what he thinks is needed.

EDIT: Blaze has changed styles so chat is bigger now.

2. Administration Control Panel > GENERAL > Feed Swttings > Enable Feeds for forums.
3. Go to your Administration Control Panel and select Language Packs under the System tab.

Thank you. I've switched ports now. Let me know if error persists.

EDIT: I've turned off auto SSl for now until a certain issue can be resolved. You can still use by bookmarking your login page with https:// prefix.

Posted after 10 hours 33 minutes 56 seconds:
Hopefully the SSL notification should be fixed now. I also get an error reported from IE on index page. The thing is you can check the page at any HTML checker website and it passes a strict test.

Blaze: I like the last post first thing .... who else would like that?

@Jay
i think that Blaze implemented RSS for this - didn't try myself yet.

@Blaze

I saw there is strange color .. 'Girls' !!

I think it's not good idea, because boys and girls are users.

and users are enough .

Aaaargh ... girls!! First they took over GOLF (Gentleman Only Ladies Forbidden) and now linux? There will be no domain left for real men. :sorry: just joking.

KSA_ARAB ... i don't think the ajax chat has FULL integration with phpbb. mchat (the current one) gives us full control over chat including permissions. I like how it is displayed on the front page as it gives the forum a more personal touch. I would suggest that we keep the current mchat for users and integrate the ajax chat for private chat rooms and lap dances from girl members. :ROFL:
